Why do you continue to post this rubbish? I've looked through your history before on this board and I've yet to find a single post you've made on motoring which has any basis in reality.
I seem to recall a diesel owner saying something similar on these boards when I was talking about DPF and DMF failures something like 10 years ago.“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

They do if people buy the wrong car for the type of journey they do. My Mondeo has just hit 120,000 miles at 7 years old and is on its original DPF, DMF, Clutch, Turbo and injectors the same as my last Mondeo was (DPF excluded as it didn't have one) when I sold it at 8 years old with 165,000 on the clock.This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Just to show small turbos can be reliable I've just read of someone who has owned an original smart 599cc turbo for 16 years and he is just about to clock up 150,000 miles.
The engine and turbo have had no work whatsoever. He just has it serviced every year, fluids replaced as per schedule, jumps in and drives it, regularly checking the oil between services, but it never uses any.0
